No support. At all.

AnneMargaret

I'm fed up with me and my family getting no help or support. I am waiting to see a social worker but we have been asking for support for ages now and keep getting put off. My mum is nearly 62 and it is not fair on her having to cope with me aswell as her other kids and grandkids. I am really struggling tonight but have told no one. Except now yourselves.

Things have been like this for over 7 years. Even though i've been in and out of mental hospital. They just fob you off like everyone else out there.

What are we meant to do? I am struggling to live like this. Everyday is more of a struggle. I panic about what i should eat, when and how often should i was/wash my hair, clean my bunnies, go out, what i should buy, how i should talk. I keep forgetting how to deal with things.

I am probably making no sense at all and as i am currently tearful i am going to shut up. Sorry.

    I thought you had become quite chipper recently, and I'm sorry things are getting you so down again.  You're still going out for the occasional drink with dad?  Still got 13 bunnies?  I hope so.

    I hate that there is so little I can do.  Maybe you could tell us a bit more about what has got you so upset just at the moment?  And if it is the 'support' thing altogether, then you have the sympathy of everyone who has ever needed the state to 'get its finger out'.  Go with the advice you've had, try, try, try to keep your chin up AND don't forget that there are some of us out here to whom you are very, very important.
